We prove that for any set$E\subseteq \mathbb{Z}$with upper Banach density$d^{\ast }(E)>0$, the set ‘of cubic configurations’ in$E$is large in the following sense: for any$k\in \mathbb{N}$and any$\unicode[STIX]{x1D700}>0$, the set$$\begin{eqnarray}\displaystyle \biggl\{(n_{1},\ldots ,n_{k})\in \mathbb{Z}^{k}:d^{\ast }\biggl(\mathop{\bigcap }_{e_{1},\ldots ,e_{k}\in \{0,1\}}(E-(e_{1}n_{1}+\cdots +e_{k}n_{k}))\biggr)>d^{\ast }(E)^{2^{k}}-\unicode[STIX]{x1D700}\biggr\} & & \displaystyle \nonumber\end{eqnarray}$$is an$\text{AVIP}_{0}^{\ast }$-set. We then generalize this result to the case of ‘polynomial cubic configurations’$e_{1}p_{1}(n)+\cdots +e_{k}p_{k}(n)$, where the polynomials$p_{i}:\mathbb{Z}^{d}\longrightarrow \mathbb{Z}$are assumed to be sufficiently algebraically independent.

AbstractErdős conjectured that for any set A ⊆ ℕ with positive lower asymptotic density, there are infinite sets B;C ⊆ ℕ such that B + C ⊆ A. We verify Erdős’ conjecture in the case where A has Banach density exceeding ½ . As a consequence, we prove that, for A ⊆ ℕ with positive Banach density (amuch weaker assumption than positive lower density), we can find infinite B;C ⊆ ℕ such that B+C is contained in the union of A and a translate of A. Both of the aforementioned results are generalized to arbitrary countable amenable groups. We also provide a positive solution to Erdős’ conjecture for subsets of the natural numbers that are pseudorandom.

Abstract We prove that sets with positive upper Banach density in sufficiently large dimensions contain congruent copies of all sufficiently large dilates of three specific higher-dimensional patterns. These patterns are: 2 n vertices of a fixed n-dimensional rectangular box, the same vertices extended with n points completing three-term arithmetic progressions, and the same vertices extended with n points completing three-point corners. Our results provide common generalizations of several Euclidean density theorems from the literature.

AbstractM. Beiglböck, V. Bergelson, and A. Fish proved that if G is a countable amenable group and A and B are subsets of G with positive Banach density, then the product set AB is piecewise syndetic. This means that there is a finite subset E of G such that EAB is thick, that is, EAB contains translates of any finite subset of G. When G = ℤ, this was first proven by R. Jin. We prove a quantitative version of the aforementioned result by providing a lower bound on the density (with respect to a Følner sequence) of the set of witnesses to the thickness of EAB. When G = ℤd, this result was first proven by the current set of authors using completely different techniques.

Let $\{f_{n}\}_{n\geq 1}$ be an infinite iterated function system on $[0,1]$ and let $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC}$ be its attractor. Then, for any $x\in \unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC}$, it corresponds to a sequence of integers $\{a_{n}(x)\}_{n\geq 1}$, called the digit sequence of $x$, in the sense that $$\begin{eqnarray}x=\lim _{n\rightarrow \infty }f_{a_{1}(x)}\circ \cdots \circ f_{a_{n}(x)}(1).\end{eqnarray}$$ In this note, we investigate the size of the points whose digit sequences are strictly increasing and of upper Banach density one, which improves the work of Tong and Wang and Zhang and Cao.

AbstractWe establish that any subset of ℝd of positive upper Banach density necessarily contains an isometric copy of all sufficiently large dilates of any fixed two-dimensional rectangle provided d ⩾ 4.We further present an extension of this result to configurations that are the product of two non-degenerate simplices; specifically we show that if Δk1 and Δk2 are two fixed non-degenerate simplices of k1 + 1 and k2 + 1 points respectively, then any subset of ℝd of positive upper Banach density with d ⩾ k1 + k2 + 6 will necessarily contain an isometric copy of all sufficiently large dilates of Δk1 × Δk2.A new direct proof of the fact that any subset of ℝd of positive upper Banach density necessarily contains an isometric copy of all sufficiently large dilates of any fixed non-degenerate simplex of k + 1 points provided d ⩾ k + 1, a result originally due to Bourgain, is also presented.
